In order to go to the largest mage gathering place on the continent of Yarrow - Kerr City, Carmen Alicia and her party headed northwest from Hellas Bay, and after leaving the territory of Hellas Bay, they first arrived at this area that was not managed by a lord, the Susan Hills.

It was getting late, Alicia and the others came to a small village near the Susan hills, Alicia hoped to find a place to spend the night here, and then when dawn came, then go on the road, after all, it is very dangerous to rush at night in such hills, when Alicia and the others came to a small square in the small village, they saw an elephant orc with a human body, this elephant orc was tall, but he looked old, and he was talking fiercely with an old man at this time.

"I'm not old!village chief, I can still protect this place!" said the Elephant Orc, who was Wesker, the guardian ranger of the Susan Hills village.

"Wesker, I don't dislike you for being old, don't be angry, the people in the village respect you very much. The village chief patiently explained to Wesker.

"Then why did you hire that group of young adventurers to investigate what bullshit Hill Witch?!"

Wesker yelled at the village chief, it was really scary, and Alicia and the others, who were watching from a distance, were reluctant to take any further steps, and they watched the conversation between Wesker and the village chief.

"I can't tell you to search the mountains, you still need to guard us here, and Laziz's team of adventurers can help us search for the situation on this side of the Susan Hills. The village chief didn't seem to be afraid of Wesker in the slightest, and he patiently explained to Wesker.

"I think you're just doing it too much! Susan Witch is just a legend!" Wesker was still angry, his voice was so loud that most people didn't know if he was shouting or communicating normally.

"The hill we live on is named after Susan, which proves that she really existed. This was emphasized by the village chief, who felt that he was a very patient person and seemed to be very kind.

"Yes, this legend is more than a hundred years old, how can that witch still be alive, Susan Witch is a human, not a winged man. Wesker said with a slight mockery.

"Maybe Susan Witch will have some kind of longevity magic, magic is such a thing, but it is unfathomable, there are many legendary witches who are hundreds of years old, this is not an unusual thing. The village chief repeatedly stressed this because he was convinced of the existence of the witch Susan.

"Joke! You're a joke! Just because there are hot-headed young men in our village who claim to have seen a witch on the Susan Hills!

The village chief continued to patiently persuade Wesker, and in the end, Wesker, a brainless elephant orc, was unmoved, and he left here angrily, and the village chief shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave.

Alicia was interested in the conversation between the two, but it was inconvenient to ask, and Tully, who was beside her, told her that more was better than less, so Alicia could only resist her adventurous spirit, and several people entered a nondecent, and perhaps the only tavern in the village.

The inside of the tavern is pitiful, this tavern doesn't even have a name, and there is an inconspicuous man standing in the tavern bar, who is supposed to be the tavern owner. There were only a few guests in the tavern, who seemed to be villagers of the village, sitting at two tables, chatting and drinking, and when the sun was about to set, they didn't seem to be busy, but could steal a moment of leisure, and drink a little wine happily in the tavern.

"Boss, how many rooms do you have here? We are past travelers and want to stay here for the time being tonight. Jotun was doing what he was always good at, while the others found two tables against each other and sat down.

"Kitten, you have also seen, my tavern looks like there are many guest rooms? There are not many travelers passing here, my whole tavern is only one room, and there are two beds in the guest room, I see so many people over there, it seems that most of them are going to spend the night in this hall. ”

The tavern owner is not a hospitable person, and it is no wonder that most people in such a small village are xenophobic, not to mention that in the eyes of the people in the village, Alicia and her party are too eye-catching.

When Jotun heard the tavern keeper say this, he looked at Alicia, who nodded at him, and Jotun understood, and booked the only room, after all, there was no place to spend the night in this desolate place.

"Are we going to squeeze into a room together? that would be so painful......" Terry frowned, not satisfied with the arrangement.

"If you think too much, it must be little Ellie, Jessica, and Miria's room, and the rest of us men will be huddled here for the night. "I don't know if Joseph is adding fuel to the fire, but Terry's mood is even worse anyway.

Everyone ordered some wine and food, although the wine in this small village is average, the food is not a big fish and meat, but the food made in this village has a different flavor, Terry ate several large bowls of rice, if it wasn't for Joseph to take out a pungent strange drink and drink it, Terry must have been able to eat more.

After a full meal, everyone sat together and chatted and gossip, at this time, Alicia noticed a little boy running up and down in the tavern, this child looked very clever, Alicia thought in her heart, and beckoned the little boy to come.

"Ma'am, do you need anything?" the boy's voice was loud and energetic.

"What's your name, are you the tavernkeeper's child?" said Alicia, smiling slightly, and asked the little boy instead.

"My name is George! That stinky old man isn't my father. George stole at the tavernkeeper with a look of disdain on his face.

"And what about your father?" asked Alicia softly, her tone soft, which made George feel comfortable talking to her.

"My dad is a long time ago, my dad is a hunter, but unfortunately he was killed by his prey, don't ask my mom, because I don't even know who my mom is. George didn't seem to be sad when he talked about it, but rather relaxed.

"Oh my God, you're pathetic......" Alicia said sympathetically.

"Well, the people in the village are very good to me, and although the stinky old man of this tavern is strict, he has given me a job, and I am a man who loves and hates well!" said George, raising his head and looking very energetic.

George's words made Alicia think it was quite interesting, the little boy in front of her could be so strong, Alicia secretly praised.

"By the way, George, I think you seem to be familiar with the things going on in this village, don't you?" asked Alicia, staring at George.

"Hey, how do you know?" said George, who looked at Alicia blankly.

Sure enough, Alicia guessed it, in fact, it is not difficult to guess, George is a clever child at first glance, and the entire small village in the Susan Hills is such a tavern, so those adults must be here, and the things they discuss will be difficult to escape the ears of this energetic George.

"Tell me first who the Hill Witch is. Alicia ignored George's question, which she asked expectantly.

"Oh, so you're interested in the affairs of the Hill Witch, Sister Beauty!" said George, as if he had understood something, and suddenly realized.

"yes, so tell me. Alicia nodded hurriedly, and waited excitedly for George's answer.

"Well, if you want to know about the Witch of the Hills, give me a gold coin! and I'll tell you!" George smirked.

"Yes, I'll give you ......"

"One silver coin, that's all. ”

Before Alicia could reply, Tali interjected. Tully had been listening to the conversation between Alicia and George, and when he heard George ask for a gold coin, and Alicia seemed to say yes without hesitation, Tully immediately stopped Alicia's words.

On the continent of Yarrow, gold, silver and copper coins are common currency, a hundred copper coins are equivalent to a silver coin, a hundred silver coins are equivalent to a gold coin, and a copper coin is enough to buy a large piece of bread, many poor people may be able to earn one or two copper coins a day, the average worker can probably earn about one to three silver coins a month, and gold coins are difficult for the average poor to obtain, and gold coins are usually circulated among merchants and nobles.

"Yes, a silver coin will do!"

When George heard Tully say this, instead of being disappointed, he became more excited, and he reached out his hand, and Tully immediately took out a silver coin and handed it to George, who looked at it carefully, and then grinned and took it in his arms.

Tali glanced at Alicia, who smiled bitterly, and Alicia had nothing to say about it.

"Little brother, tell us about the Hill Witch at once. Tully knew that it would be difficult to stop Alicia's curiosity at this point, so he simply asked.

"Hey, if this beautiful sister kisses me again, I'll tell you!" George looked at Alicia with a wicked smile, who was obviously going to get up and down, and Alicia smiled bitterly again, it seemed that she was underestimating this little child.

"Hehe, it seems that ten-year-olds know more than Terry. Joseph smiled slightly and said lightly, which made Veronica, who was sitting next to him, laugh.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Terry looked confused, Joseph didn't explain, just smiled slightly, Jessica covered her face, not knowing what to say.

"Boy, will I kiss you?" said Jotun, who stood up and raised his eyebrows at George, "Believe it or not that I stabbed you with my beard?"

"The big-faced cat still forget it, so let's skip the kiss. George frowned, he felt that it was difficult to take advantage of kissing, so he took the initiative to give up, there is no doubt that this kid still has a lot of brains.

"This hill is called Susan Hill, which is named after the legendary Susan Witch. George began to explain, his mouth seemed very sharp, and Alicia and the others listened carefully to George's explanation.

"Susan Witch is the Hill Witch, and the legend says that the Hill Witch is very beautiful, and it is said that she will never grow old and never die, because she keeps her young by sucking the essence of the living. George explained with a serious face.

"Then this legend is really a terrifying legend......"

Strange to say, as a woman of the Spencer family, as a woman who has been fighting sea monsters in the town of Polipoli all year round, Jessica would be afraid of horror legends...... Isn't her experience in Polipoli a horror legend......

"It's terrifying! Originally, this was just a legend, more than a hundred years ago, who would have thought that a few weeks ago, someone in the village would actually see Susan, the witch of the hills! A hundred years later, Susan Witch is back here!"

As he spoke, George shouted in a terrible voice, and Tully even felt that the boy had wasted his talent if he did not become a troubadour.

"So the village chief is going to find someone to investigate?" asked Alicia hurriedly, a point she was very concerned about.

"Yes, it just so happened that an adventurer named Laziz came to Susan Hills with a small team, so the village chief commissioned them to investigate the matter, but the village chief's actions made Wesker very unhappy. "George really knows everything, and Alicia really didn't find the wrong person.

"And did the adventure party reply?" Alicia asked.

"No, they seem to be missing, the village chief is very anxious about this, Wesker often clamored to go deep into the hills to investigate, but the village chief stopped him, it seems that this matter is quite dangerous. George explained.

With that, George said he didn't know anything, so Tully motioned for him to go and leave Alicia's table.

Listening to what George had to say, Alicia fell into deep thought, and although Tully kept reminding her to take care of the things she shouldn't do, Alicia was always unsure about it, if it was really a dangerous hill witch, if she didn't care, would this village be miserable?Alicia had a very uneasy feeling......
